i'm currently suffering from the PDD- Post Dancenight Depression. :( the past two weeks have been such whirlwinds of excitement. tiring, no doubt, when we had to rush to pe studio/rua/salt centre every single day after lessons for prac and prac and more prac. and every prac ending at eight plus, going for dinner with the dancers and just spend time together talking about the dance, talking about dancenight.. we were really tired out. but it truly felt goood. like i was sick and missed school on wed and thurs, i totally missed dance. going back to school at 3 specially just for dance felt so good. it was fulfilling, because then you feel the direction in your life. there is somewhere where you need to go, something which you need to accomplish. you aint like the other people you see walking round the school just studying away. you need to do something. you feel needed and important. i like that feeling :)
today was back to schooool. and every single time when i stoned in lectures or tutorials, or even when i was sleeeeeping. i think of dancenight. i think of mosaic. i think of femme and i think of journey. thankyou seniors for giving us femme, something different from the style of syf, the emo emo dance style we had been practising for the past many months. femme was a truly fabulous dance :) i loved tango and say it right and rockyabody. :) the music is still stuck in my head. i spent the whole of last night listening to it while on the computer and i really feel like dancing it out all over again.
comments from other blogs :) and you see why im so so proud of our syf dance<3
after syf,
"HC WAS FREAKIN' GOOD. GOD GOD GOD GOD. So bloody emo. It's a dance about the melancholy before a journey. It was spectacular, there were flips here and there, very tempestuous moments and very emotional moments. The music, though Chinese, crept right into me and caught me totally off guard. Then there was this ladder technique which was just OMG OMG OMG OMG. I can't describe it, YOU GOTTA SEE IT. IT WAS SO AMAZING THAT IT BLEWS THE AUDIENCE AWAY JUST LIKE THAT. A definite Gold with Honours, I'm telling you."
then following release of syf results,
"CJC got Gold which really shocks me because they were really good. I guess they were unlucky enough to be behind HCJC which was omfgodly."
after dancenight,
"Yesterday's DanceNight was rather awesome. The dances were well-choreographed; and equipped with some (limited) knowledge of art philosophy and appreciate I applied it to the event. The MAD SYF piece was very well-executed. The symbolisms held much meaning - folded umbrellas embossed in ivory, falling ladders swaying with much hesitation, suitcases and ramps neatly packed away and carried to flights of fancy, and a red umbrella hanging suspended. I thought about it for a long time, and didnt sleep until 1am."
"dance night! was enjoyable, i LOVEEEE the SYF items they are very good and i think MAD fully deserved their gold with honours it was so spectacular and beautiful. very intense!"
"hwachong music&dance (MAD) is like SUPER SUPER SUPER GOOD. i watched hcjc mad syf! i was so excited. i hope they perform it again somewhere i can watch. i will gladly watch it over and over again. "
"HCJC DANCE NIGHT WAS SO NICE. okay. some of the items were good. i like FEMME and JOURNEY (their syf piece)! these 2 items are the best."
:)
journey, always so fulfilling and satisfying. the last part when we all turn around to see meiling and the red umbrella floating up in the air. that very second, i swore i will always be holding my breath. and when the beautiful red umbrella floats up and meiling goes down onto the ramp with the suitcase, the dance ends on such a beautiful note. it's like bringing the whole dance together, with the umbrella, the suitcase. :) it was perfect and so so beautiful. for journey, we always know we can do it. it was, is and always will be our pride and honour. i feel so proud, so proud to be part of the meaningful and beautiful dance which everyone says is the best of the whole show :) it is the best because it involved so so much. so many months of practices, and that emo talk on that particular friday which i will probably remember forever, the seniors' love and trust and belief, the closeness our batch experienced, the kind of unity and togetherness during the syf period which belonged specially to hwachong mad modern. journey took alot to be presented on stage for the audience, it involved so much. a huge amount of emotions is involved in this particular dance. everytime before our syf item, we will all gather in our very own hc mad modern circle, we'll look at each other and think about syf. and we'll all close our eyes and think through all that we have been through. so so much. we'll think about the seniors' words, we'll think about that very moment before we went up on the ucc stage on syf day, we'll think about that second when clarice screamed gold with honours how everyone screamed till they cried. we'll think about all these. thats why i say journey means so much to each one of us. because it isnt just a dance anymore. it is truly, a journey. a journey of our own. and during the dance we will all put in just so much emotions, we will feel deep down in our heart all the sorrow we can ever feel, and feel for this dance. and towards the end, we will never fail to feel tears in our eyes. cause that is just how much we put in, and just how much it means to each and every one of us. i will always remember this sentence on the loveletter given to me by the seniors on syf day. "today, we dance for all the sorrow we have in us, we dance for what we have went through the past six months, and we dance for everything to come for M.A.D." i never fail to think of it every single time before the syf dance when we were backstage, and it is always the key to my heart which opens up all the bare emotions inside of me, just for the dance. it is and will always be stuck in my head till forever <3
everyone's asking me whether we will do it again :) for now, it will be on during hwachong arts fest concert this wednesday. the very last time we will be doing it? with the seniors. the beloved seniors who made all this happen for us. and we will do it again. journey <3
